Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, sliced thin
- 1 1/2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
Sauce
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon water (as needed)
Other
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
- Sliced green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat oil and aromatics: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Cook broccoli and carrots: Add the broccoli florets and sliced carrots to the skillet and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes, allowing them to become tender-crisp.
- Add mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms and continue to stir-fry for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until all vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Prepare and add sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, and the cornstarch slurry. Pour the sauce mixture over the vegetables and stir well to coat everything evenly.
- Adjust sauce consistency: Add 1 tablespoon of water if needed to loosen the sauce. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the vegetables thoroughly.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
Notes
- Feel free to add bell peppers, snap peas, or baby corn for variety.
- For a vegan version, skip the oyster sauce or substitute it with a plant-based alternative.
- This stir-fry pairs well with tofu or chicken for additional protein if desired.
